futureheatwaves (version 1.0.0)

average_mean_temp: Calculate average temperature of heat waves

Description

This function takes a dataframe of heat waves, as created by gen_hw_set, and calculates the average of the daily temperature during each heat wave across all heat waves in the dataframe.

Usage

average_mean_temp(hw_datafr)

Arguments

hw_datafr
A dataframe of heat waves and their characteristics, as created by gen_hw_set

Value

  • A numeric value with the average temperature (degrees Fahrenheit) during all heat waves for a dataset of heat waves, as generated by gen_hw_set. This value is the mean of the average temperature of each heat wave, not the average temperature across all heat wave days (to calculate that, you would need to calculate a weighted mean, weighted by the number of days in each heat wave).

Examples
